Lc. Laberge et al., AMNIOTIC BAND ATTACHMENT TO A FETAL LIMB - DEMONSTRATION WITH REAL-TIME SONOGRAPHY, Annals of plastic surgery, 35(3), 1995, pp. 316-319
On ultrasonography, an 18-week-old fetus was found to have his left ha
nd attached to an amniotic band. The child was born with typical anoma
lies of the amniotic band syndrome. This observation tends to support
an extrinsic theory for the pathogenesis of the amniotic band syndrome
.
